laws get interesting when they tell you to do something for the safety (or interest) of others.

for example, it’s raining and I’m driving on the highway and I just saw a sign saying “Wipers on, it’s the Law!”

Now this is makes total sense, but the essence is it’s telling you (forcing you) how to use your property. *do we truly own anything in this world.

Obviously we live in a society and that’s the whole point of laws, to coexist safely and peacefully. But just interesting how society and freedom clash.

We’ve done a noble job trying to balance the two. And it’s swung both ways throughout history. So my only thought is, will this tension remain for the rest of time or will one eventually prevail?

There’s no way we don’t have society, just shear amount of individuals/tribes we’re bound to interact. We’re social creatures.

So then the logical thought is if one is to prevail, it’s society.

But there will always be people who will die for freedom. Will there be? Or will that energy/desire be simply eroded over time?

Basically, my conclusion is that there’s no world where it’s pure freedom because we need to coexist. But the question is about the other option.

Will there be a world where there is no freedom?
